Her hair and make-up were as over-the-top as ever, with lashings of mascara and a high ponytail bouffant.

Jodie appeared on Nick Grimshaw's BBC
radio show after a week of endless television and magazine interviews
about her complete makeover.

Eye catching: The bodybuilder ensured she couldn't be missed in shiny pink trousers

Speaking to Heat magazine this week,
Jodie explained that she has been training as a body builder with her
coach Tim for three years.

She insisted that it wasn't a bid for attention or fame, stressing: 'No, this is where people get me so wrong.

'When I was at school I wanted to be a vet or a lawyer, I didn’t want to be famous.'

'I
got bullied at school for being ugly and that is why I wanted to be a
model because I thought I could prove to the bullies and to myself that I
wasn’t ugly. It is not attention seeking.'

The new direction her career has taken has clearly given her a huge confidence boost.

'I feel proud when I look in the mirror.
I still can’t believe it’s my body. Like, when I look at my abs, I’m
just like, f****** hell, I love it so much! I’m the prettiest I’ve ever
looked,' Jodie enthused.

Naturally
aware that the muscular look isn't to everyone's taste, Jodie
continued: 'If you’re not in the bodybuilding world it is scary, but to
me it’s normal. I think I still look really feminine.'

Jodie explained that she achieved her astonishing physique thanks to a high protein diet during training.
